Hello all,
A colleague from our club is on the way to buy a Pik 20B. The trailer got
broken into on the way for the sell and the sad individuals ran off with the
tool box that contained the connecting pins in question. Glider untouched.
We are now looking for Pik 20B control rod connecting pip pins. Is there
someone that would sell 4 of these pins? Otherwise does anyone know where I
may find a supply? I gather they would be metric in size but no idea what
diameter they would be.
Best regards

I just went out and checked mine for you. The diameter is 0.247
inch.(These are available in the US with a 0.250 inch diameter). The
length of the shank is 1.102 inch. The head length is 0.590 inch.

Now a suggestion. I have connected the right flap and aileron pins
together with a short piece of parachute cord. I have done same with the
pins on the left as well. I never remove a connected pair. This prevents
loss and dropping one into the bilge. The cord has never interferred
with the mixer movement at least over the last 30 years but do have your
A&I check it out.

I hope that this helps.
